Month in Review: July 2019

Favorite Media

Very few albums have 100% bops, but guess what? Cuz I Love You does. I don’t know what I was doing with my life in the first three months this album was out in the world, but I picked it up at exactly the right time. “Juice” and “Truth Hurts” are my favorites, but I can basically be in the mood for any of the fourteen songs. Lizzo inspires me to be unapologetically myself—to go for what I want and to not feel bad for wanting in the first place. Just… ugh this album. 😩

I love (love love) the studio version of “Like to Be You,” but I also love looking at Shawn Mendes when he sings this adorable song. His dimples! His hair! His perfect fucking face!!

Stuff I Added to My Queue

Homegoing and The Power have been on my radar for years, but when I found used copies at my library, I realized I’d never actually added them to my TBR. 🤷‍♀️

I’ve read the summary for This Is How You Lose the Time War multiple times, but I still can’t quite understand what the book is about. But it wasn’t until I read Chaima‘s review that I knew I needed to pick it up. (Seriously, y’all, her review is gorgeous.)
